CD-R King is Crap

Posted on October 11, 2008 at 22:54 Down the Drain

No Filipino who’s inclined to using a computer that much would not know the store which sells the cheapest CD’s and gadgets in town. But haven’t you ever thought how ironic it is that they stick to manually writing their receipts which lead to the extremely long queues of customers most of the time? (sigh) Today I bought a laptop backpack and was lucky enough to be able to get it after heading straight at the end after going through a lot of waiting customers in the narrow and only path. And the salesladies? Well, they even have time to chitchat and laugh when all the customers are already about to bite their heads off. But what can we do. Maybe that’s their rule of thumb.

While I was waiting for my purchase to arrive at the lady who does the manual receipts, I heard the people in the mall’s activity area cheer and a guy’s cool voice was soon heard singing. I later found out that it was Hansen “Sen” Nichols of Pinoy Dream Academy Season 2. As expected from a celebrity, he’s got the looks and a very good complexion. I don’t know, but at some point he looked like a gay? After fetching some photos I found out that he was about to leave via the only elevator of the mall. The people on the ground floor (that includes me) looked up at it as it headed off to the third floor and then came back to the second floor after seeing that people has also rushed to the third floor. Cool. I guess being a celebrity is really hard when it comes to fans. Aside from that, it gave me the idea of how exciting it can be at the same time. As I exited the mall I saw the entrance to Ted’s Batchoy blocked by many security guards. As I walked outside and looked at the glass, Mr. Nichols was there together with his personal assistants (maybe) having a meal. Now how ’bout that. 😉
